Iraq War Veteran Garett Reppenhagen lays out some pretty sad and disturbing information at his recent testimony to Congress. None of this was to be unexpected, unfortunately, for those who were arguing strenuously against the launching of this criminal war were portrayed as ‘traitors’, ‘not supporting our troops’, ‘wimps’, blah, blah, etc.. Where are those critics today, and how many actually took the initiative to go experience what Mr. Reppenhagen had to go through.

Here he states that “in February of 2004, it was my turn to go to war. I was with 2-63 AR 1st Infantry Division stationed in Baquba, Iraq, as a Sniper in a six-man team. During my year there, I saw a lack of effort by our government to provide the US Soldier with the ability to win the hearts and minds of the Iraqi people. As events unfolded, like Abu Ghraib and the battles in Fallujah, a growing resentment of the Iraqi people swelled the support for the insurgency. Our mission there became impossible.”
